Slice without fear, cook without bounds

Cut Your Bananas Like a Boss

I don’t know about you, but I HATE having to wash dishes. Especially when I’ve only really used them for one thing. I had a dishwasher my whole life (spoiled, I know) and now that I’ve moved into an apartment with my hubs I’m without one. I made this terrible mistake right before we got married where I said that I would take dish duty if he took laundry. This really is only fair since I make such a mess in the kitchen, but I never grasped just how many dishes we use every day!

This method for cutting bananas came about so I could reduce the number of dishes I make and because I was making smoothies for breakfast when I’m certainly not a morning person and I this helps me cut my bananas in a snap. Ready? Let’s roll.

1. Get your stuff together.

Banana

Butter knife

Bowl, blender, bag, or whatever you’re putting the banana in.

2. Pinch the “bottom” of the banana. This is the part without the stem.

You’ll like it better, I promise!

3. Pull on the bottom to peel a strip off of the banana.

You’ll want the opening of your banana to be about an inch or so wide. You may need to pull another strip if your first try only takes off a little bit of the peel.
